Recent signing to DFA records is Hercules & Love Affair. This is Andy Butler and Tim Goldsworthy and man, the music is pretty damn good. Its all a bit Chicago House! Seriously good. I waited until I owned the 12″ before writing about it. I was amazed at how naff the label is on the record. Its a horrible orange colour. I don’t have the record to hand, so I can’t take a photo of it. Anyway, what you get is 2 cracking house tunes that are a bit acidic and a bit vocal. Classique#2 and Roar are the tracks that are on the 12″ which is pretty much a UK only thing, but I believe it has been released in the States now. Anyway, if you like old Chicago House tracks, then buy this 12″. I got my copy from Piccadilly Records in Manchester. You can also buy this on iTunes. You can listen to the tunes on the Hercules & Love Affair Myspace page as well.

Yes! The new Metro Area 12″ is out and its a bit of a belter! I do like them, they make some excellent records. Going to order my copy asap! Available from all good record shops and the Environ Records website!

That’s pretty interesting that Radiohead have signed to XL Recordings. Not a complete surprise, seeing as Thom Yorke’s solo album came out on XL last year. Very interesting though. You can read more about it over here.

Well, I bought the new Radiohead album recently and I really like it. I am quite obsessed with the House Of Cards at the moment. Its such an amazing song. I really like the new album. Its good. I wish they had just gone without releasing on a major record label. I know that not everyone has access to the internet or a debit card. Anyway, I recommend heading over to their site and buying it. I’m not very good at reviewing music, so I am not going to bother.
